Fusing elements of Afro-house, bass, and UK funky, London-bound newcomer Hagan draws back the curtain on his Gold Coast EP. With roots based in Ghana, it's no wonder Afro-centric influences show up strong in the 4-track release; heavy basslines coupled with dark, tropical, and tribal sounds, the rich set carries irrepressible ancestral rhythms right the way through. It's a brilliantly experimental effort from Hagan—the title track (and opener) is a slow-burning, percussive-funk piece that lures you in and keeps the feet moving consistently. Gold Coast will be released on May 1 through Soupu Music, and you can now try before you buy by hitting play on the stream below.
